Low-T Vespa Horn begs (in a high squeaky voice) for replacement.

174.6 inches 173 inches 203 inches

Wondering if there could be something similar to PPF (paint protection film) that could act as a transparent shield that would preserve the plastic.

This is something I was wondering. Thanks! But then again... I'm inclined to pay a little extra to preserve capacity based on my experience of gradual capacity-decline in my golf cart.

Spot on. Brave AI query: What are the lengths and widths of a Slate Truck, an original Toyota Pickup and a first-generation Toyota Tacoma? Response: The lengths and widths of the vehicles in question are as follows: Slate Truck: The Slate Truck has an overall length of 174.6 inches and a...

Even if you're dropping the pan the extractor is useful. Maybe even especially then! Dropping a pan chock-full of Transmission Fluid versus dropping an extracted pan are two different experiences.

Put another way... Loaded Question AI Query: How is a partial transmission fluid more beneficial than changing all of the fluid? Response: Partial vs Full Transmission Fluid A partial transmission fluid change can be more beneficial than changing all of the fluid in certain situations. For...

FWIW... My simple strategy is to buy "15,000 Mile" oil and never go past half of that many miles, with possibly a filter change after ~4K miles. I use OE filters. Changing oil too frequently isn't beneficial because Fresh Oil's Big Load of Detergents washes away the protective tribological...

Would Battery Longevity be another reason to go bigger with the battery? Even if you don't plan on doing long trips a bigger battery provides ability to keep state-of-charge in the 20-80% range more easily. Another reason might be because generally speaking it's just less taxing on each...

IMHO the Slate Truck has at least the potential to be more trouble-free (reliable) and hassle-free (require less maintenance) than ICEVs. Superior reliability can be built in, but that isn't necessarily a given. Here's hoping Slate Auto's designers and engineers are up to the task of creating...

Adding clearance for driving over snow could be a good reason for lifting. Not sure how important that is because my snow-driving experience is limited due to living in The Valley Of The Sun. Being able to see better (because you're seated two or three inches higher) is another reason for...

Yes. The front tire is on the surface and a couple of inches of the rear tire are visually missing and sunken into the painterly road surface.

Something's a bit "off" about the rear tire in the photo.

I'm pretty sure a Steep Learning Curve is deliberately designed out of the Slate. I'm an EV n00b, but it does seem ICE vehicles do have significantly more periodic maintenance items, don't they? Oil changes, spark plugs, fuel filters and air filters, coolant, belts & hoses... That's not to...

I'm curious about that too. A pickup truck Leveling Kit (modest lift kit for the front suspension) is an inexpensive strut spacer that looks something like this: $42-$109 Remove the strut. Attach the spacer onto the top of it. Reinstall the strut. Possibly get an alignment. Will the Slate...

Lifting allows you to fit tires that wouldn't otherwise fit. I prefer keeping center of gravity low, so I wouldn't lift unless it's for that reason. Lifted trucks with tires that don't require the lift look goofy to me. For solid-axle 4x4s lifting the Chassis doesn't necessarily raise clearance...

That appears to be the electric winding mechanism, not a switch. This.

The reason I like fog lights is because they can be used as driving lights. They create shadows that make it easier to see irregularities in the road because they're mounted low. Go to somewhere dark, turn on your headlights, then turn your fog lights on and off to see the effect I'm talking about.

By the way the video is one of the better ones because it's succinct and informative. Thanks for posting.

I doubt that's a Slate motor in the video. It certainly isn't a Slate taillight.
